Lewis Hamilton takes the pole position with with 1m 16.459s.
Fernando Alonso had a major twitch in the final corner on Kovalainen’s oil, before the session was temporarily red flagged. His fastest lap had 1m 16.465s. Felipe Massa completed the usual dominant quartet with 1m 16.666s.
A surprise fifth was Takuma Sato, doubtless on low fuel in his Super Aguri after a lap of 1m 16.864s, and Nico Rosberg was once again fleet for Williams with 1m 16.975s.
Mark Webber was in seventh place, taking his repaired Red Bull RB3 round in 1m 17.071s, then came Rubens Barrichello in the improving Honda on 1m 17.329s, David Coulthard in the second RB3 (who survived a very heavy landing over the final corner chicane having already recorded 1m 17.391s). Anthony Davidson completed the top 10 for Super Aguri, also with 1m 17.391s, ahead of Renault’s Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 17.454s), Honda’s Jenson Button (1m 17.468s) and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica (1m 17.601s).
At Toyota, both drivers were under orders to avoid the destructive kerb in Turn Eight following yesterday’s right front suspension failures (not, incidentally, caused by Trulli hitting a wall, it transpired, but by a weakness on the components). The Italian was 14th on 1m 17.624s, Ralf Schumacher 16th on 1m 17.748s. They sandwiched Scott Speed who took his repaired Toro Rosso round in 1m 17.742s, and his team mate, Tonio Liuzzi, was 17th in 1m 17.799s.
Adrian Sutil was the fastest Spyker racer, with 1m 18.270s, while an engine fire kept BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld down in 19th with 1m 18.428s. Alex Wurz also had problems on his way to 1m 18.489s for Williams, then came the hapless Kovalainen on 1m 18.758s and, finally, Christijan Albers with 1m 18.933s in the second Spyker.[source formula1]
